  • S4E14 Josh Tovar Talks Leading by Example and Balancing Priorities
    Apr 17 2024
    What does it take to lead, particularly, lead a school? Josh Tovar has some ideas. On this episode, Josh talks about what it takes to be a leader of a school, how leading by example and focusing on what's best for kids (not always what's easiest for adults) can have a tremendous impact on a school. Listen here! . . . Josh Tovar is the proud son of Virginia and Jesus Tovar who immigrated from Cd. Juarez Chihuahua, Mexico in the late 70's. Raised in El Paso, Texas, he faced adversity as an emergent bilingual student who graduated at the bottom of his high school class. He knew he needed to change his life, so he enlisted in the United States Marines. After attending artillery school, he began attending UTEP, where he earned a BA in History and Minor in Education. He has been in the education system from pre-k to the university level. He was in the classroom for ten years and the last twenty-two years has been an administrator. He assisted in graduating all students who passed the state exam in 2008, turned around a medical magnet program and assisted in transforming a school of 2550 students from a D- to B- in three years. He currently is the proud principal of Memorial Pathway Academy in Garland ISD which supports EB students and those who might fall through the cracks in a comprehensive high school. He is the proud father of Cashew, Aaron and Matthew. He has been supported and married to Berernice. Finally, he knows that kids do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.

    Apr 10 2024

    My guest today, Kim Strobel, has a mission: empower teachers to take control of their joy and happiness. Her new book has those two words in the title, Teach Happy: Small Steps to Big Joy. She says that happiness and joy are not the same, and they aren't always present at the same time. On this episode, Kim shared what it truly means to take control of your joy, both in and out of the classroom.

    . . .

    Kim Strobel is an internationally-known motivational speaker for educators, school leaders, and organizations and travels the globe sharing the impact of happiness on well-being and student achievement.

    She is the author of Teach Happy: Small Steps to Big Joy, which provides a clear path to reclaiming joy and happiness within and outside of the teaching profession.

    As a former teacher and curriculum director, her goal is to inspire you by providing thought-provoking research, heartwarming stories, and simple action steps that get you life-changing results.

    Because of her own challenges and adversities, Kim teaches others how to overcome their fears, discover their joy, activate their potential, and boldly pursue a life that feels good to them from the INSIDE-OUT.

  • S4E12 Dr. Dave Schmittou: Always Evolving, Always Learning (ft. Tracey Taylor)
    Apr 3 2024
    Dr. Dave Schmittou is one incredible individual. He's worked in just about every area of education, but, as you'll hear, the movement of career was never as important as his continuous evolution as a human and an educator. Even his definition of success, for someone with all the accolades and experience, will surprise you. Listen here! . . . Dave has earned a reputation for being a disruptor of the status quo, an innovator, and a change agent. Having served as a classroom teacher, school-based administrator, central office director, and professor of Educational Leadership, he often uses real-life stories and examples of his own life and career to describe why and how we need to confront “the way we have always done it.” He serves as a leadership coach, a time management consultant, and can also be found helping schools as they navigate assessment data and the madness that is student grading. He is the author of five books, has earned his doctorate and attended law school. He is the 2014 Michigan Administrator of the Year and the 2018 College Educator of the Year, but his greatest accomplishment is playing the role of dad to four incredible kids while living life as a Beach Billy on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
